Norway2, I just build a new karmic server from scratch and amavis service doesn't start by default unless the hostname is a FQDN. But an error is displayed on the console when this is the case (e.g. hostname being "karmic"):
Starting amavisd: head: cannot open `/etc/mailname' for reading: No such file or directory The value of variable $myhostname is "karmic", but should have been a fully qualified domain name; perhaps uname(3) did not provide such. You must explicitly assign a FQDN of this host to variable $myhostname in /etc/amavis/conf.d/05-node_id, or fix what uname(3) provides as a host's network name! (failed). Either having /etc/mailname or defining a FQDN for the host is mandatory and service amavis states so quite clearly, IMHO. Could have happened that you missed this message above? In any case, if you still experience issues starting amavis i think a new, different bug should be open. -- Problems with amavisd-new: cannot start the service https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/251377 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
